Although the store is technically open right now, we predict a Bonnaroo-level event in the parking lot in anticipation for Saturday's 10 a.m. launch.

In addition to the massive shipment of CD and vinyl rarities for purchase, the day includes in-store live performances, DJ sets, BBQ, and cupcakes that you'd be stealing if they weren't already giving them away.

And, an After Party at Brew Downtown.
